Avaya Voice-Ready
The Juniper J4350 and J6350 routers also form the basis for joint Integrated Branch Communications
solutions offered by Avaya. By embedding the Avaya IG550 Integrated Media Gateway with the J4350
and J6350 routers, enterprises can easily extend the power and functionality of Avaya Communication
Manager software to remote branches, offering straightforward installation and integrated management
capabilities plus business continuity options.
Security Solutions
Juniper Networks based its security architectures on multiple layers, where each layer reinforces the
protection of the others, complementing each other with functionality and hiding defense mechanisms
from view. Additionally, layered security supports interoperability with existing infrastructure, minimizing
investment to only where and when needed.
The Foundation of Security – Firewall and IPSec VPN: Whether securing internal networks from
the outside world, securely segmenting internal networks, or performing some combination of the
two, Juniper’s Integrated Firewall/IPSec VPN is a purpose-built, fully-integrated appliance and
system providing network and application layer access control and security, including Application
Layer Gateways [ALGs] that support H.323 and SIP protocols. Antivirus, anti-spam, and Web
filtering capabilities round out the secure gateway functionality in certain products. Integrated, high-
performance IPSec VPN support authenticates and encrypts communications between branch and
remote locations. Some models have fully-integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention technology
for a comprehensive solution, managed by a policy-based central management system: NetScreen ®
Security Manager (NSM).
High Levels of Security – Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Juniper’s IDP series provides zero-day
protection against worms, Trojans, spyware, and other malware by identifying and stopping network
and application-level attacks before these intrusions can enter the network. The IDP series provides
detailed information on applications and services running on the network, and identifies rogues so
these abnormalities can be addressed before they compromise security or cause other problems. This
includes support for IP telephony protocol vulnerabilities such as SIP and MGCP.
Unified Access Control
Internally-connected PCs and devices that are either unmanaged or ill-managed pose a number of
security issues. To fully mitigate threats and control access to the network and specific resources
within it, the security framework must consider these endpoints and users. Unified Access Control
from Juniper provides user identity management combined with endpoint intelligence for policy
control and visibility throughout the network. The centrally located Unified Access Control platform
adds intelligence by seamlessly integrating into an organization’s existing LAN infrastructure without
requiring switching upgrades or pre-installed client software.
Secure Remote Access – SSL VPN: Extending applications to remote users via the Internet enables
wide reach at low cost, but the solution must be fully secure. Encrypted tunnels allow remote users to
directly connect to the corporate network from their computer. SSL is the recommended VPN option
because it supports browser-based encryption without special client software or remote equipment.
Juniper’s SSL VPN appliances combine VPN and endpoint security policy-setting, scanning, and
enforcement into a single, clientless system for lowest TCO. Only Juniper’s SSL platforms provide
the most extensive set of open interfaces and tools for backend integration to both existing desktop
compliance systems and user applications, including Web-based and traditional client interfaces.
This enables Avaya IP Telephony functionality like Avaya Softphone or Avaya VPN telephones without
requiring a VPN client installation on the end user desktop.
Application Acceleration: Several initiatives have become critical to IT’s ability to improve economics
while simultaneously increasing application performance and more tightly integrating distributed
business processes. Juniper Networks WX and WXC application acceleration platforms benefit IT staff
involved in key business initiatives.
